This bundle comprises 88 settling activities suitable for Year 7 in their first year of French. Several are based on cognates and cultural information in order that they are accessible by students who have almost no knowledge of French language.
I find that a settling activity on the board as the class comes in leads to a calm and quiet start to the lesson, allowing students to be challenged from the first moment.
Settling activities are also useful for revising vocab or grammar points that students wouldn't otherwise see very frequently.
